Mayor Hewitt of New York, says the
Mail and Express of that city, is really
mere bundle of nerves. How any man IN
his physical condition can attempt to do the
work through which he daily forces his way
is a source of wonder to everybody who
has any idea of the man or the embarrass-
ments from which he suffers. A combina-
ton of dyspepsia and rheumatism make lie
a torture for him. Sometimes he is confined
to his room for days, suffering agoGies from
the twinges of rheumatism, but he never
aiuches from his work as long as he can
hoId up his head or keep his eyes open. He
has his papers brought to his room, and
sticks to them until he has evolved a way, way
ont of the difficulties. He does this by sheer
.iil nower. but this terrible wrenching OF
his slight frame has long since broken down
his nervous system and has made him the
irritable man that he is. But in spite OF ms L'
inGrmities he is more easily approached by
the common people than any mayor which
New York has had for years.

Defending the Christian EndeavOr So

An earnest defence of the Christian En-
deavor society, which has several local
branches in this county, is made by Rev.
Chas. A. Dickinson of Lowell Mass, in an
swer to false imp esson given by writ
err in the Boston Herald, who intimated
that the society is largely characterized by
"piety without brains,n and that its mem
beers are chiefly engaged in talking at
PRAYER meetings, without taking hold in
robust, vigorous way to bring themselves
into useful relations with the life of the
world about them. Mr. Dickinson shows
that one of the chief aims of the organiza-
ton is to discourage mere 'prayer-meeting
enthusiasm" and to encourage young peo-
pie "to transmute their devotional enthusl-
asm into intelligent Christian activity.
cone who reads the constitution OF the so

to cover the whole round OF Christian and

who has not only been messenger between

to him the invitations Of the gospel. When
we remember the large number of the i'm

1t not question Of momentous Importance
to the church and country in what condi-
ton these men and women will como from

rise TO a new and better life But as it is
wiser to rear the light house than TO send

"Thy kingdom come" pray also for the en-

every Christian may help to answer his
